One of my vices is vises, machinist milling vise


No name on this one that I could find...

Does its no-namedness suggest that it came as an ancillary included with a lathe or mill? Or is that too big a leap for quality speculating?

that was an awesome realization.

How's it held onto the mill bed? D.

I really don't know. It looks turn-of-the-last-century old, the base is definitely part of the unit but there is no obvious method of fastening it to anything.

Obviously this is not a vise but it's a good picture of the type of clamp that might be used to hold it down:

Used correctly those clamps can apply some serious holding power.
